    So I bought a new truck and it's to high to throw a motorcycle in the bed by myself safely. I wanted to get a hitch carrier to haul a sport bike if I needed too for some reason and more so my dirt bike to and from the track. Can anyone throw out some recommendations? Everyone I looked up online had mixed reviews. Thanks!


    Note I won't be traveling super long with a sportbike on the back as I have a toyhauler it's more just for if I want to or if I need to take it to the shop etc. Also my truck is a 2500 so hitch weight isn't an issue

    I have a Versa Hauler and have put over 40K miles on it with a full size bike on the back with no issues. Before that I had a Moto tote and put about the same amount of miles on that also. Those are the only 2 units I would ever trust to put mike bikes on.

    ^^ This... Moto Tote..... Make sure you don't buy a flimsy Aluminum one... Get a Steel one.... and put a bolt through the Pin too.... I took a bike from Atlanta to Road America... Stable as can be.... And blocked my Tag for the tolls too!

    I never looked into Moto tote. I looked into the ones on discountramps.com. How much did you guys pay for yours?
